�Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead�
-Lucille Ball

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
--Theodore Roosevelt, 1918

"The "seven social sins": Knowledge without character,
Science without humanity,
Wealth without work,
Commerce without morality,
Politics without principles,
Pleasure without conscience,
Worship without self-sacrifice."
--Gandhi

"We have not inherited the world from our forfathers -
We have borrowed it from our children."
--Kashmiri, proverb

I woke up at 5:59am on Saturday. I rolled over, tried to wipe a significant amount of sand from my eyes (virus in the eyes, remember?), gazed through the sleep-fog at my clock and thought, doesn't my brain realize it's freakin' Saturday?. Since I was awake anyway, I got out of bed and went potty. By that time, I was really awake and so I turned on CNN and crawled back in to bed, hoping the news would eventually put me back to sleep.

Not a great wake-up call.

Of course, I am writing about the Space Shuttle Columbia, which exploded and broke up over Texas, just a few minutes away from landing safely back in Florida. Seven courageous lives lost. So very sad.

There must be a special place in heaven for those people who are brave in a way most of us could not even imagine.
